Eatery 8 Pizza My Heart

Pizza My Heart
1590 Bothelo Drive
Walnut Creek

     Pizza My Heart is the latest pizza joint to open in downtown Walnut Creek, joining
   Extreme Pizza, Slice House, Skipolini's & California Pizza Kitchen. Located a block
   away from the theater, this pizza parlor offers many delicious toppings and flavors.
   Like Slice House, you can either buy it whole or just by each individual slice.

  Pro: The surf themed decor is nice to look at while waiting for ones pizza to
  be cooked. The surfer sculpture hanging from the ceiling resembles the Marvel
  hero Silver Surfer. Their prices on the menu are very affordable and won't put
  a dent in your wallet. Their employees were very courteous to us and very 
  helpful in serving me and my significant other. The seating area seemed clean
  and wasn't too crowded for a dinner time option.
  
  Con : Oh where do I begin?  The thin amount of cheese made each slice 
  taste bland. The grease and oil put on their slices dripped onto my hands and
  is not suitable for those with weak stomachs. Their cheese slices took over 
  10 minutes to be served as they didn't have anymore left & another pizza
  was being cooked in the oven. 

  Overall: PMH is not the worst place you can eat pizza but sadly it just did
  not live up to my expectations. For better tasting pizza, there are other
  places available mentioned above. I will be giving them the benefit of the
  doubt since they just opened hopefully improving on their food quality. 
  If not, I can't see them lasting very long in the saturation of Walnut Creek's
  pizza landscape.

Solar Eclipse 2017


Solar Eclipse 2017

    The solar eclipse will be happening tomorrow around 9 AM. A solar eclipse is a 
  rare phenomenon in which the moon passes in a direct line between the Sun and
  the Earth. There have been eclipses in the last few years but not a total eclipse.
  The last time a solar eclipse happened was back in 1979.

      Take very special caution while viewing a eclipse. Do Not look up at the sky
  as it will permanently blind you. Either wear specially designed glasses or 
  welders goggles while viewing.

       If you want to view the eclipse without looking up, either watch it online 
   at Nasa.gov or cut a tiny hole in a cardboard box. Always have your back
   turned to the sun, do not look through the hole.

      For more information, watch this video from NASA

      It is also important to remember to cut back on electricity while the eclipse 
  is going on. Be safe and have fun watching the eclipse tomorrow.

  Edit: The solar eclipse was not view-able that day as it was overcast and could only
  be seen if you lived in Lafayette or farther elsewhere.

What Grinds My Gears 2: Vertical Videos

 WGMG 2: Vertical Videos

     Ever since the invention of the Iphone, many people have been filming videos 
  of their pets, friends, random fights, etc. While it may look nice viewing it
  on the phone itself, when uploaded to Youtube or elsewhere, the large black
  boxes on the sides make it look terrible. 

  Here are a few examples of Vertical Videos-

Eatery 7: Miramar Beach Restaurant

Miramar Beach Restaurant
131 Mirada Rd.
Half Moon Bay, CA

      Located across the street from a popular beach, Miramar Restaurant is the kind of
  eatery that you'd expect to have seafood on the menu and that's exactly what they 
  serve. Started as a brothel and speakeasy during the Prohibition Era, Miramar is
  now a full scale restaurant serving some of the best seafood around.
      
      The offerings served on their menu will savor your taste buds as you gaze out
  of their large windows and look at the beautiful views of the bay. This restaurant
  offers outdoor seating in case if you want to bring your four legged friend along.
  Miramar has an extensive wine menu and full working bar so you can catch the
  game on their big screen TV.

  Pro : Their atmosphere had an old fashioned hotel vibe to it with vintage
  pictures placed on the walls. Noise level was moderately loud but not too loud.
  The service was wonderful as we were seated right away. The waiters were 
  attentive and friendly. 

  Con : Although my fish and chips were filling, the food was just warm 
  and could've been cooked better. This place is quite pricey but that's to be
  expected at a place like this. 

  Overall : This is a good place to have a bite to eat after spending a day on the
  beach. Half Moon Bay may have other seafood places in the area but you 
  won't find the food as half as good as Miramar Beach Restaurant.

New Flash Movie Plot Details

Flash Movie Plot Details

       It was announced at the 2017 San Diego Comic Con that the plot for the new 
  Flash movie is going to be an adaptation of the Flashpoint Paradox story arc. 
       Published in 2011, the 5 issue arc involves the scarlet speedster traveling back
  to the past only to find out he inadvertently changed the future. He finds out that
  Bruce Wayne's father is the new Batman and his arch nemesis,Captain Cold, is the
  new hero. Superman doesn't even exist. Without Supes and Batman then the Justice
  League doesn't get formed. Now it's up to Barry Allen to fix the past before it's 
  too late. 
      
      My Take : 
      While I'm happy a Flash movie is being made, I think it's too early to do the 
  Flashpoint story considering it's already been before on the TV show The Flash.
  It would feel totally redundant and customary. 
       If the right producer/director were to adapt it, then it might actually be pretty 
  good. If the cast of the Justice League were to appear then it'd be even better.
  But knowing how Warner Bros likes to play catch up with Marvel and rush out
  their DC films (I'm looking at you Zack Snyder), it probably won't be any good.
